Resident Evil 5 Demo to hit Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the 5th of December

[Bertha]

According to 1Up.com preorders open on December 4th, but I know Capcom Japanese Store doesn't sell out of Japan, I'm wrong?

There are some websites that can order it for you...you'll have to pay extra though.

@Rosetta Mist
Really?
Can Play-asia.com and amazon.co.jp do that?

the problem with the over-the-internet demo's , you won't be able to find and rip out cool stuff from it like dot did with the re4 one's :p

[Sephiroth]

Well im a bit dissopoint that there no PS3 Demo been anouced fingers crossed it will be soon.

i honestly think this is an international demo. it also makes more sense as everyone says that the 360 honestly is easier to develop for right nwo due to it being close to a PC. also the 360 outnumbers the ps3 in a unknown ratio...any news on whether the demo has the co op mentioned for the game? i would love to paly it with my firends when it comes out

They've had demos for both consoles for a while (March for 360 and May for PS3). They could've released the E3 demo while the show was still on if they wanted to for both consoles.

If anything, the demo is a bit late.

Actually, on the 360, it's very doable. The problem is getting things up and running again (especially if you want to consider the risk of "potential issues" with MS and the LIVE service)

Re-read the opening post. It holds the key to the info you seek in the 3rd line of text.

Not if the demo wasn't in tip top shape. And something tells me Capcom wants to be a bit careful with their demo approvals after the Viewtiful Joe "incident".

What a relief. I own a XBox360 Arcade Pack and a 40GB PS3. Glad to hear it will come to PSN

I'm still expecting the Japan demo to be on PSN, on Dec 5 too... And I'll keep believing that until Dec 5, when I'll be pissed if I read about people playing their 360 versions, before I get my PS3 demo!

There's only a few thousand 360s sold in Japan (well, LOTS less than PS3s), so why would Capcom piss off their own nation, by releasing the demo as 360 only?
Unless M$ have actually paid to make the demo 'timed exclusive'. (F**king low and pathetic if they have!)

It could not be a 'technical difficulties' reason, because the recent reports have said the PS3 demo is performing much better than the 360 version.

I want to know: does the LIMITED edition bring the SAME stuff as the COLECTORS edition + some more things; or does it just bring ONLLY NEW stuff that weren't in the CE? I know it's not yet clear what will each edition bring, but how has it been with other capcom games?

Thats great they are releasing demo for north america, I can't wait.
